Eli Sketch, one half of UFO (who made the great song "Mama Africa") is a young dude from Kisumu currently in college in Nairobi.  His raps are funny, smart, sometimes brutal, and always rhythmically unique.  We met up with him as he was finishing up his album "Campus Boy" at Urban Music with Vic and LaFam.  The boys claim to have sold over 10,000 copies of the last UFO album straight from their backpacks, walking Nairobi, giving free freestyles, and then charging interested parties for the album.  

No lack of hustle here.  Here are some of the lyrics to this jam, starting around the 30 second mark: 

Buy "Campus Boy" (his new album)
It’s money well spent
When you’re broke
That means your money well’s spent
You find yourself in debt
Like a blind date

I don’t feel the rappers
They’re mushy like actresses
Plus they get it all wrong
Like an adultress
If I’m not married to you we’re not jumping on the mattress
The more I say that the more she undress
P.O. 
I’m boxing rappers
More than the address
If you think you’re better than me
Get over the madness
If you’ve not seen me on Google
Then Google me on your net
As I attract positivity like a magnet
Still on the top of scales of hardness
Skills very dope you can tell, you can’t test
Roughly I’m a rapper, I’m not in a contest
Flow so conc (“concentrated”) so I got the conquest
No federal money but my boys get fed
And rappers suck like they’re being breastfed
They don’t wanna be enemies
They wanna-be best friends 
That’s wisdom if you hope to play the best games
When the producer switches styles like in the X-Games
Flow is elastic like a rubber band
So if I perform live I will rob a band
And when I enter the studio you can sense the cold

We’re reaching for the top
Me and my crew
We’re reaching for the top

We walk that talk
Me and my crew 
We walk that talk

We rock nonstop
Me and my crew
We rock nonstop
We’re reaching for the top
Me and my crew
We’re reaching for the top

When they define hate and beef
Me I love with psych (psyched up love)
I penetrate as if stabbing a dyke
But I still drive the sisters crazy
After I “hasta la vista” baby 
You can’t fool you know that the streets is wise
My skill is more dreadful than what’s on the head of Richie Spice (dreadlocked rasta legend)
Every Sunday it’s porridge and beans
Life is more pathetic than Nigerian movies
Shorties have made life so boring 
I wanna chick with lips like Angelina Jolie
They’re not common, and when you meet them
They’re exposed to the public like Kaz’s breasts (Kenyan music star with leaked sex tape)
Damn
It doesn’t mean my style is not unique
When you duplicate names like P-Unit (Kenyan hip hop crew who clearly took their name from G-Unit)
I take over rap with a tight sick force
As I shine like the lips of a chick with lip gloss
Usefull?  
Muchatha is the base (Neighborhood in Nairobi)
Mess with Nairobbery and murder will be the case
